Our bodies have a lot to tell us. But few can read what they are saying. This workshop shows us how to look directly into our inner world—our mindsets, movement, and energy—to see what our bodies have to teach us about the ways we keep falling back into habitual patterns, and how we can fully embody who we wish to become. Through ancient teachings and a range of contemporary somatic practices, we discover how to use our qi (life force energy) to center and ground ourselves, give and receive appropriately, blend with another’s energy, and recognize the difference between strength and force. We explore our own strategies for handling life’s challenges and look beyond patterns of spoken communication for insight into conflict resolution and peace. You will see yourself more clearly than you ever have, let go of that which no longer serves you, and tap into vital life force for living and leading powerfully in your life today. Leaders and others in any field, including managers, teachers, coaches, and bodyworkers, are welcome.
